Min Hee-jin – ‘NewJeans Creator’ steps down as CEO of Ador

On the 27th, Ador made the official announcement of Min Hee-jin’s departure from the CEO position. They also revealed that Kim Joo-young has been appointed as the new CEO. According to Ador, Kim Joo-young, an HR expert with extensive industry experience, will be responsible for stabilizing and restructuring the organization. Although Min Hee-jin will step down as CEO, she will continue to serve as an internal director and oversee NewJeans’ production duties.

According to Ador, the company plans to implement a separation between production and management within the organization. This decision is in line with their multi-label operation principles, which have been consistently applied to all other labels. However, Ador has been an exception as the CEO has been responsible for both production and management. The company stated that this restructuring is intended to assist in the growth and success of NewJeans.

Ador’s announcement:

On the 27th, our board meeting was convened and we unanimously selected Kim Joo-young, who is currently an internal director at Ador, to be our new CEO.

With a wealth of experience in different industries, HR specialist Kim Joo-young has been tasked with the important role of stabilizing and restructuring the organization.

Min Hee-jin will relinquish her role as CEO, but will continue her position as an internal director and retain responsibility for overseeing the production of NewJeans.

Furthermore, Ador will implement a separation between its production and management departments. This decision is in line with the company’s commitment to operating with multiple labels, which has been consistently practiced with other labels. However, Ador has been an outlier, with the CEO handling both areas.

This reorganization is intended to bolster the ongoing expansion and increased prosperity of NewJeans.

I am grateful.
